The third senior brother likes to sing, his alias is called Peony, but since he is dumb, he can no longer sing, but there is a story among the people, one winter, Wu Zetian suddenly became interested, and took the concubines and palace maids to the upper garden to drink and enjoy the snow. www.biquge.info At this time, the heavy snow had just stopped, and I saw that all the scenery of the rockery, pavilion, small bridge, and promenade were dressed in white plain clothes; Although the branches and leaves of various flowers and trees are withered, they are dressed up in snow like silver branches and jade flowers, which are particularly beautiful. Occasionally, two small birds flew in and pressed down the branches and scattered clumps of white flocculents, like butterflies fluttering.

Wu Zetian was fascinated, but he didn't expect the snow scene to be so magnificent. Suddenly, she found that in the white snowdrift, there seemed to be clusters of burning and jumping flames. If you look closely, it turns out to be a red plum in full bloom. Wu Zetian was really happy! The concubines who accompanied the flower viewing saw that the emperor was so happy, and they all rushed to toast. A concubine improvised and said, "Holy Lord, no matter how good the plum blossom is, after all, it is a flower blooming alone." Wouldn't it be more satisfying if you could make a decree and let a hundred flowers bloom in the garden?"

Wu Zetian, who called himself the "Holy Spirit Emperor", immediately wrote a poem and ordered the palace maid to burn it to report to the flower god.

After the palace maid burned Wu Zetian's edict, she frightened the Hundred Flowers Fairy. The fairies quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The Peach Blossom Fairy was the least courageous and didn't want to anger Wu Zetian, and a few little flower fairies also timidly echoed. The peony fairy disagreed with them and didn't want to compromise on it. At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and all the flower fairies saw that the peony fairy had made up their minds, so they had to disperse in a hurry and bloom their own flowers.

At the beginning of the morning, Wu Zetian woke up, his drunkenness was completely gone, and then he heard the good news - all the flowers were blooming! When Wu Zetian heard the joy, she hurriedly walked out of the palace, and when she raised her eyes, all the flowers in the garden were really blooming, gorgeous and colorful, competing for beauty.

At this time, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty came to watch the wonders. Wu Zetian faced Zhongqing and saw that only the peony had not bloomed among the flowers, and a wave of anger rose spontaneously. Immediately ordered all the peonies to be burned, leaving not a single plant. After receiving the order, the samurai immediately lit firewood and threw it into the peony bushes. The peony fairy saw that a piece of peony was about to be destroyed, and was full of grief and indignation.

This story is also recorded in history, although there is no folk gods and monsters, but there are some miracles, according to legend, Wu Zetian once wanted to visit the upper garden, so he specially announced the upper garden, "the Ming Dynasty traveled to the upper garden, and the spring was urgent." The flowers are sent overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow. At that time, it was a cold winter, and in the face of Wu Zetian's very domineering edict, the "Hundred Flowers Fairy" was ordered to hurry up. The next day, when Wu Zetian visited the garden, he saw that all the flowers in the garden were blooming, but there was no flower blooming in the only flower garden. After careful questioning, he learned that it was the peony who disobeyed the order, and Wu Zetian was angry and ordered someone to set fire to the flowers and trees, and demoted the peony from Chang'an to Luoyang. Who knows, these burnt wood branches actually bloomed gorgeous flowers, the flower fairies admired, and respected the peony as "the first of a hundred flowers".

The story is the story, in fact, the peony is the third senior brother of the White Horse Temple, the so-called scorched wood blossoms, because even if he is poisoned and dumb, the third senior brother does not help Mei Niang, Jiang Liuer does not understand a little, obviously the senior brother and the second senior brother are not as diligent as the third senior brother chasing Mei Niang, but the third senior brother resists the most.

"You treated me very well in the temple, I just want you to come out and say something now" Mei Niang looked at the third senior brother who was alias Peony, a pair of beautiful eyes were pitiful, but the third senior brother Bi Meiniang was even more pitiful, a big man was crying, just shaking his head.

The senior brother also shook his head, he was poked blind, the second senior brother also shook his head, his hand was cut off, it was Jiang Liu'er's turn, and he couldn't hear it clearly, so he didn't nod or shake his head, only Jiang Liu'er lived safely until now.

Women can't be emperors, the three senior brothers all think so, they can fight for Mei Niang, or they can steal the sesame oil money from the White Horse Temple to buy rouge gouache to make Mei Niang happy, but only Mei Niang wants to be the emperor, but she has always been opposed.

But Mei Niang still became the emperor, after all, it was only three monks who opposed him, and Jiang Liuer, who was rumored to be the Buddha, and the respected abbot all stood up and said the topic of Li Xing in the Wu Dynasty, who was the biggest? The emperor is the biggest, bigger than the emperor? It is the sky, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, the three senior brothers later passed away in the White Horse Temple, and they all left three relics, only Jiang Liuer and the abbot were burned clean.

The eldest brother, the second senior brother and the third senior brother, in their previous lives, were all women, and they framed the Buddha for money, but because they inadvertently helped the Buddha preach the Dharma, they entered the world once to help Mei Niang temper, and after one experience, they have become Buddhas and completed the consummation.

The elder brother's previous life was called Zhan Sha, which was a play, and the Buddha spoke the Dharma back then, and was welcomed by the people. Soon after the Buddha said this, the Brahmin laymen in the Acropolis saw that the power of the Buddha's Sangha was growing like the light of the sun and the moon, and the flame of jealousy burned in their hearts, and they planned to slander the Buddha before they were satisfied. As a result of the plan, they used money to buy a girl named Zhan Sha, and told her to follow the followers of the Acropolis to the Gion Monastery to hear the Buddha's teachings, and once after listening to the Dharma and returning to the city, the Maiden Zhan Sha girl wore beautiful clothes and carried flowers in her hand, and went to the Gion Monastery, and she secretly stayed in a monastery in the outer way, and the next morning, the people of the Acropolis went to the Gion Monastery to worship the Buddha, and when they arrived at the Gion Monastery, the Zhan Sha girl came from the opposite side of the Gion Monastery, and everyone greeted her with good morning, and she replied, Yesterday she was staying in the incense hall of the Gion Seisha. Seven or eight months after the Buddha answered this, she tied a small wooden basin in her underwear with a strap on her abdomen, and one day when the Buddha was speaking on the throne, the woman dressed as a pregnant woman also joined the audience, and just as the Buddha was speaking, she suddenly stood up from the crowd and rebuked the Buddha and asked, "You are fine with your arguments, but now I want to ask you, since you have a relationship with me, why haven't you built a maternity room for me until now?" You abandon me, what a merciless person! After the warlord said this, the audience was full of people who believed deeply, and they were all shocked, but the Buddha sat on the throne with his eyes closed majestically, and at this moment, the wooden basin that the warshade girl tied to her body suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and after the vicious plan was exposed, she was so ashamed that she ran away to the outside of the Gion ashram, and the Buddha continued to speak as if nothing had happened.
